Chapter 172: Lychee and Lychee Wine

"Fruit, what fruit?"

Li Jing turned to look at the waiter and asked, what fruits can be at this time?

"Someone said it was lychee!"

The chamberlain replied.

"Lychee?"

This reminded Li Jing of a poem written by Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty, eating 300 lychees a day, and being a Lingnan person for a long time!

Su Shi felt that as long as he could eat 300 lychees a day, he was willing to be a Lingnan person forever.

It is enough to prove how delicious this lychee is, even a foodie like Su Dongpo is willing to be a Lingnan person forever in order to be able to eat lychee every day, which shows how attractive lychee is to him.

Speaking of lychees, I have to say that the concubine laughs, this is the most delicious variety of lychees, and it is also Yang Guifei's favorite lychee.

As the so-called red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee!

"Since it was sent by Feng Qi, then take some and try it!"

"No!"

The chamberlain bowed down and took the order.

A minute later, the waiter returned with a tray with a plate of lychees on it.

Li Jing reached out and picked up a lychee, fixed his eyes and looked at it, ah! I didn't expect the concubine to laugh!

Peel off the lychee skin, stuff the pulp into your mouth, and chew it!

Well! It's still the same taste, a lot of moisture, it's sweet, it's good!

"This lychee tastes good, has a lot of moisture, and is very sweet, you can also taste it!"

Li Jing beckoned everyone to taste lychees together.

"Thank you, saints!"

Everyone hurriedly thanked them, stepped forward one by one, and each received a lychee to eat.

They followed Li Jing's example, peeled off the skin of the lychee, ate the flesh inside into their mouths, and when they bit into it, the juice of the lychee burst in their mouths instantly.

It's really watery and sweet, and there is a faint fragrance, which is really delicious.

Pity! They only ate one, it was not enjoyable at all, they still wanted to eat it again, but they also knew that it was impossible, and the lychee was presented to the emperor by the governor of Guangzhou.

The emperor can reward them with one to eat, which is already good, how can he still ask for so much.

"Lychee is a good thing, but it can't be stored for a long time, and it will change its flavor after a long time.

"Although this lychee is good, it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, leave some lychees, and you can take the rest and divide it!"

The two large baskets of lychees sent by Feng Qi couldn't be eaten by one person, and he couldn't keep them for a long time, so he had to share them with others to eat, so as not to waste them.

"Thank you, saints!"

Everyone thanked them again, and this time they must taste the delicious taste of lychee.

Looking at the happy crowd, Li Jing showed a smile, if only the lychees could be preserved for a long time!

Li Jing suddenly thought that lychees can be used to make wine, which can still preserve the fresh fragrance of lychees and prevent the loss of nutrients from lychees.

It can also be used as a health care wine, which can play a role in invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing blood and liver, nourishing, anti-aging, beauty, fat reduction and other effects.

In addition to brewing, it can also be made into dried lychees, which have thick flesh and sweet taste, and are a rare medicinal food material.

I just don't know if there is anyone who will use lychee to make wine and dry it, if not, he will make lychee wine, and then sell it all over the country, wouldn't there be a lot of money in the account.

"Sage, Guangzhou Governor Feng Qi asks to see!"

Just as Li Jing was thinking about how to start the lychee wine brand, an attendant trotted over and saluted with his hands to report.

"Let him wait in the back hall, and I'll be there later!"

Li Jing said that before meeting Feng Qi, he had to explain clearly, how to use cement, build a thatched house for him first, and he wanted to see the effect.

To be honest, the smell of the thatched house in this Guangzhou Mansion is too big, he can't stand it squatting in it, if someone hadn't moved the gong bucket in front of him, he really didn't want to go to the thatched house to get a size.

The first step in improving one's life is to renovate the hut and turn it into a toilet with an automatic flush toilet, through which all the excrement can be flushed to the septic tank.

The manure water in the septic tank can also be used as fertilizer to water the crops in the field, so that the food can grow more vigorously!

After explaining the relevant matters, Li Jing took Ximenyang to the back hall to see Feng Qi.

"See the saint!"

Seeing Li Jing coming in from outside, Feng Qi immediately got up and bowed with his hands crossed.

Li Jing came to the main seat and sat down, and Ximen Yang stood aside.

"Feng Aiqing is exempt!"

"Thank you, saint!"

"Why did Feng Aiqing have time to come and see me?"

Li Jing said with a smile.

"It is the duty of the minister to come to the saint to say goodbye, this time I came to greet the saint, and the minister has something to offer to the saint!"

Feng Qi said.

"I don't know what it is? Aiqing sent someone to send it, why did he send it in person!"

Li Jing was very curious, what novel and good things Feng Qi could bring him this time, looking at his mysterious appearance, it was really a little exciting.

Feng Qi showed a hint of a smile, and did not immediately take out the good things, but asked: "In the afternoon, the lychees sent by the minister, I don't know if the saint still likes it." ”

"Aiqing really has a heart, I am very satisfied, but I heard that this lychee is not easy to store, and it will be full of color and fragrance after a few days."

When it comes to lychees, Li Jing still has to thank Feng Qi for allowing him to eat the lychees known as the king of fruits, you must know that Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Lingnan, and even the fastest horse cannot guarantee that the lychees will be edible when they are delivered to Chang'an.

Of course, if you use ice to preserve it, you can still prolong the time for the lychee to deteriorate, but if you do this, it will be too laborious and costly, and there is no need for that.

"That's right! Lychee is indeed not easy to preserve, the peel on the outside of the lychee will change color within one day, the aroma of the lychee will slowly disappear within two days, and on the third day, the taste of the lychee will also disappear and become unpalatable! ”

Feng Qi nodded, lychees can't be stored for a long time, this is not a rumor but a fact, over the years, everyone has been studying how to preserve the deliciousness of lychees.

There are even strange people in the folk who study this, and finally they want to come out, which can retain the efficacy of lychee and preserve the fresh fragrance of lychee.

"I don't know, is there a way to preserve the deliciousness of lychees?"

If there is no one in Lingnan who has a way to preserve the fresh fragrance of lychees, he will give a recipe for making wine, so that Lingnan people can learn to make lychee wine.

Then, the lychee wine will be popularized throughout the country, and the farmers who grow lychees will also benefit, thereby promoting the economic development of the south and making the south rich.

This is also a policy that benefits the country and the people!

I have to say that he is really a good emperor, thinking about his people all the time, not poking, not poking, not poking!

There is no lifetime achievement award in Datang, otherwise, the high and low will have to come out one by one.

"Saints, look!"

Feng Qi didn't answer directly, but took out what he brought.

It was a jar of sealed wine.

Li Jing stared at the wine jar in Feng Qi's hand, and guessed in his heart, could it be that this is lychee wine made from lychees?

They only talked about lychee preservation in the last second, and Feng Qi took out a jar in the next second, it was really difficult not to think about lychee wine!

But will this jar be lychee wine?

"Could it be that the thing in Aiqing's hand is related to lychees?"

Li Jing looked at Feng Qi and asked.

"Sage Shengming, guess the key at once!"

When Li Jing heard this, he sneered in his heart, and as soon as he entered the door, he talked to him about lychees, if he couldn't guess it, wouldn't it mean that he lacked IQ.

"Isn't this a wine made from lychees? If so, I'd really like to try it and see how the lychee wine tastes!"

Li Jing said with a smile.

Ximenyang immediately beckoned the maid to come over with the wine bowl.

Feng Qi didn't expect Li Jing to guess what kind of wine this was, which was really surprising to him, and he originally planned to sell it, and after the emperor drank it, he would introduce him to lychee wine, and he had the intention of selling it in front of the emperor.

The wine bowl was brought up, and Feng Qi had no choice but to unseal the mud, uncork the bottle, and pour out the wine inside.

The maid stepped forward to take the bowl full of lychee wine and presented it to Li Jing on the throne.

Li Jing took the wine bowl and took a big sip of lychee wine.

"Ahh

Li Jing praised it after drinking it, this lychee wine is really delicious, and it preserves the fresh fragrance of lychee.

Li Jing drank three bowls in a row, and then he burped and put down the wine bowl with satisfaction, he hadn't drunk so much like now for a long time, and drank so happily!

If it weren't for the fact that he still had something to do today, he really wanted to get drunk, not for him to blow, with his amount of wine, there would be no problem with the whole jar of wine blowing directly.

"If the saint likes it, the minister will order the person to send a few jars to the saint, but although this wine is good, it is better not to be greedy for a cup!"

Feng Qi said.

Since Li Jing likes to drink, he can supply it every day, but I hope Li Jing won't be greedy for a cup, so as not to have something happen, and it will be bad to blame him!

In fact, even if the emperor drank to death, he had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't die in his realm, and he couldn't afford the consequences.

As long as he leaves the realm under his jurisdiction, even if the emperor drinks and dies on the way, it has nothing to do with him Feng Qi, and even if it does, it is within the range he can bear.

"Feng Aiqing, how is this lychee wine brewed, and it can actually maintain the fresh fragrance of lychees?"

Li Jing looked at Feng Qi and asked, he didn't know anything about Feng Qidi's mental activities!

"This lychee wine, I have heard the person who makes this wine say, it seems to be a good lychee, cleaned and drained, then peeled, pitted, ......"

Feng Qi began to tell about the process of making lychee wine outside the palace, and the previous steps were basically the same as what Li Jing knew, selecting the lychees for making lychee wine, and smiling with a concubine.

Now there is no rock sugar, and when brewing lychee wine, it is also possible to replace rock sugar with white sugar, which itself is an ice cube-like crystal made by frying white sugar.

It's just that if this lychee wine can be made with white wine, the wine will be more mellow.

"Such a good wine should be drunk all over the world!"

Li Jing plans to vigorously promote lychee wine, which is only good for fruit farmers.

"What the saint said is very true, but I am separated by mountains and forests in Lingnan, and I want to transport lychee wine......
